versed in the energy markets. And of course he's talking about the economy and talk about he's the author of the Energy Report, so we'll talk about it's very very well versed in politics too, and I just love reading his Energy Report every morning that I do when I do the America Struck A Network show. Also, we've got seven twenty five, seven thirty ish, we've got Kevin Richardson. I was turned on to him by a mutual friend.

He is senior director of Regional Advancement at Sunrise Children's Services, they're going to have a summit, a first meeting in March where it's to start addressing and try to do something about human trafficking and some of the things that he was telling we were talking about yesterday. Setting this interview up just kind of frightening and something that you wouldn't expect in this area to the numbers and the

extent that he was talking about. Then at eight thirty we're going to be talking as representative some Animatics Kentucky State representative. She's from the sixty first district. She's going to give us an update on this year's legislative session down in Frankfurt, and there's been a lot of activity down there, so it's going to be interesting to talk to her and find out what the heck is going on down there. I haven't been paying as much attention to Kentucky or at least what's going on in the

legislature down there this year like I normally do. This has just been kind of a crazy, well not crazy year, but I mean, you know, doing the America's Truck a network show, and with all the regulations that are kind of being wiped out, some of the optimism that has come in as far as the trucking industry is concerned, all the energy news that we've been seeing over the last few weeks, and then of course roll backing, the rollback of a lot of these regulations that for years

have been plaguing the trucking industry. And it's just trying to keep track of what's going on in Washington, and then of course as far as the other national issues in terms war in Ukraine and how that's affecting the world economy, how that has affected the prices of different things, and it's just been crazy. So I haven't really had a whole lot of time to pay attention down state, So Savannah will catch us up on that. I'm looking

forward to talking to her. She's always a great person to talk to and always got a lot of knowledge, and I always like to hear how many people she's upsetting down there.

set up interviews and stuff. Weird that some people were busy, some people weren't able to be available, and then all of a sudden yesterday, well I had Phil Flynn set up last week, but then all of a sudden yesterday I started getting all these phone calls from people and saying, well, this guy can't make it, but can you talk to

this guy or how about talking to this person? So I must have been on the phone for about an hour and a half yesterday, and this was at like six o'clock at night, and I'm thinking, well, I'm sitting here putting together the program for the day and kind of a synopsis of who I'm going to be talking to or not talking.

tomorrow or couldn't have been yesterday? I would have liked to have attended that, or I've liked to have done this or that or the other thing. And it all seems that it's always and it never ceases to amaze me how something will come up and you plan ahead and you say, okay, this is going to happen on this date, and so we're going to be ready for it, and then all of a sudden, four other things pop on the radar screen. So yesterday was no different. I

got kind of a pleasant surprise. I should say that talking to some of the people and getting future contacts for future shows and so on, so that part is not bad at all. But one of the things that I want to talk about today and I think we're going to do that maybe in the six six o'clock hour as much as I appreciate and as much as I enjoy what's going on in Washington right now with

the cutting. And I got to tell you that when I look back on the number of presidents that I've lived through, the presidential administrations that I've lived through throughout my life, I look back at the Reagan administration, and I thought there was going to be all this. I mean, there was a lot of change. There was a tremendous amount of change, and there was a lot of optimism,

and the economy was doing well. But there were some things that didn't get done, some things that got done that I wish hadn't gotten done, and so there were some things left on the table, so to speak. And then of course you had George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, he came into office, and then that was not as good as I had anticipated it to be. And then

we got stuck with Bill Clinton. And then of course when George W. Bush, and honestly, I thought when George W. Bush and Dick Cheney came into office, two supposed conservatives, Dick Cheney being more conservative than at the time, I can remember everybody talking about that Dick Cheney brings a

certain level of GRAVI toss to the administration. I was expecting big changes and a lot of stuff going on, a boost in the economy, and some things that I wanted, as from a conservative stature, to have happen.

we might as well use them. We might as well play with the new toys, and got us involved in some conflicts that at first sounded like it was a good idea, but the way it dragged on and dragged on and didn't give us the results that I would have expected and had anticipated to have happened. And then you know, of course, you know what else has gone on.

But this time around with Trump and the way that they are going in with Doge and the way they're going in and looking under the hood and looking at all the different waste fraud and abuse that we have

been talking about. I mean, every year, if rand Paul comes up with that Festivest report, the OMB or what the Inspector General, I think it is every year they come up with their analysis of waste fraud and abuse and the government and all they would have to do is follow that blueprint, cut out those programs, eliminate that spending, and we wouldn't be in the deficits.

and everything that gets put into these things. Because with the bill that size, I don't think there's any one of these senators or congressman, with the exception of Thomas Massey, that actually reads these bills and sees what's in them. And that's why you see so many times Thomas Massey voting no on a lot of bills that you would think, well, hell, the name of the bill seems to be more conservative than anything else. But hidden in the weeds is all

this weird spending and stuff. Ran Paul's the same way. So I'm very happy with the voting record of my Kentucky delegation, but it makes you want to pull your hair out, and I really don't have enough. I don't have that much hair to spare that you expect the fiscal responsibility and we just haven't gotten that in the past. And what I am seeing in this first month of the Trump administration is just absolutely astounding. Though the press can't keep up with it, the liberals can't keep up

with it. It's difficult for us who are on the team and people that have been pushing for this to keep up with what's going on and going down the list of stories a day after day after day, and some of the just the amount of abuse that we've seen in our federal system. And I applaud that, But the one thing that they've talked about that I'm not big in favor of and I'm going to be some pushback on that, and I hope we can push back.

They want to eliminate the penny, and that may seem weird to people and say, oh, well, you know, what they've been talking about is that it costs three cents to make the penny, and that just seems like it's something that should be cut out. But there's more to it than that, and we're going to be talking about

it probably in the six o'clock hours, so anyway.

And then I saw the video and I heard some people online actually talking about it and saying that yes, it did in fact work for them. And it's this what they A new term that I heard that I had never heard before. It's called phonetic overlap. Anybody out there ever heard that phrase? Yeah, well, phonetic overlap. This came out because Apple phones dictation transcribes racist with Trump.

So when somebody is voicing, you know, as you're doing your voice on your on your phone, sending a text and you put in trump, it shows racist for a second and then changes it to trump. You know how when you're doing your phone and you're saying something and you look at the word that it's it's putting in there, and you're like, where the hell did that word come from? And then it changes to the word that you wanted. And then sometimes in no matter however you pronounce the word, uh,

they'll pick it up as something else. A case in point, there is an organization called Wreaths across America, and every time I talk about that organization and then give the tagline to you know, you can look at the iHeart app to get their shows and it's Reese across America and the word is reath and then I spell that out. But if I voice that into the phone, no matter how I try to pronounce that, it comes out as

like Reese Reese's buttercup or something along those lines. And you know, this technology and no matter how hard you try to pronounce some of these words, they come up and you wonder where the heck this comes from. But this, this is just absolutely incredible. Over the last several days, the bug has gained traction on various social networks, including TikTok.

In one video TikTok, you can see a iPhone user using the built in dictation feature and clearly says the word racist, only for the iPhone to momentarily transcribe it

as trump. And then in times they put in I believe, and then the word racist comes up and then changes or maybe it's just I'm going to go through this because when I was watching and I saw the video of it, but they talk about this phonetic overlap and so you would think that if you put the word romp rumble something like that, that maybe Trump would come up. But where is the phonetic connection between racist and Trump? Those words don't even sound alike. And this reminds me

of back. You remember during the campaign where they had that video of Siri or Alexis rather and it says, Alexis, should I vote for? Or what can you tell me about? Donald Trump? And you know, in the Alexis voice, it's, well, you know, we don't really get into polity. It's hard to say about different candidates, and so I really don't have anything to say. And then immediately followed up with well, what can you tell us about should I vote for

Kamala Harris? And then there was all this, well, you know, she's a flat first black woman to and she's got several accomplishments behind her and so on. And every time this happens, every time there is a screw up like this, isn't it amazing that it only goes one way? It's always anti conservative, it's always anti Trump, or it's something along those lines.

should be doing on the job. I don't care what funny thing they think they're trying to pull. And this is the thing that bothers me the most about AI technology because on AI technology, it's only as good as the input and I it's if it's crap in, there's going to be crap out. And so if you're trying to get this AI technology to learn certain things and you're gaming the system, it's not going to give you the right letter, it's not going to give you the

right information. And we've seen this how the pushing down on Google and you're looking at conservative stories, how they have been deplatformed or pushed down further on the page. You got to go two or three pages deep, and to get the conservative take on things, and you see, you know, the censorship on social media that we've gone through. Some of it's going better, but again, when you have these algorithms in there that look for certain words and

they pull them out, Uh, it's just ridiculous.

Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five KR. See the talk station.

I have a friend. You got folks are familiar with the Debbie Gardner. She did that Survive Institute and into the protecting women and how they can protect themselves. She and her husband became very good We became very good friends. And he was a Cincinnti police officer. So we're talking back in the nineties and he used to talk about how he used to get in trouble because they would say, hey, did you lose your ticket book or is there something wrong?

You're not playing the game. And every time when you ever question these people, and I've questioned our county police department at fiscal court meetings about this, I've questioned different law enforcement people and they say, no, there's no such thing as a quota. We don't have quotas. What we

do are we are encouraged to have citizen contacts. Well, what's the well citizen contact and the only proof that you have a citizen contact a certain number of citizen contacts per month, week whatever is by the number of tickets that you've written. You don't have a quota of tickets.

You just have a quota of citizen contacts. And I can remember years ago digging into the City of Cincinnati budget and every year year after you know this, you've heard this City of Cincinnati talks about having budget deficits and they need to break this up. And you go through the budget and a line item in their budget was something like seven we're talking probably fifteen twenty years ago, but a line item for seven million dollars a year

for traffic tickets. Now, tell me that's I mean, if you've got a budget item there, you've got to meet that and the only way you're going to meet that is if you're writing tickets. So it was obvious there, But I find this interesting. Ohio bill would ban ticket arrest quotas for law enforcement. High lawmakers are pushing for bipartisan legislation that would eliminate ticket and arrest quotas for law enforcement agencies. State represented on Wednesday introduced House Bill

one thirty one, would make such quotas illegal. According to Representative Bride Rose Sweeney, a Democrat from Westlake, Ohio. In Ohio, is completely legal for us to mandate a police officer to go out every single day on taxpayer time to produce ten to twenty tickets. Hur remarks came during the discussion of emphasizing the bills in ten to restore integrity

within the law enforcement areas. Ken Cobra, president of Fraternal Order of Police Queens City Lodge sixty nine, express support of the bill and said it would impact smaller departments and villages in townships. Now, what you know in Ohio, if you get a traffic ticket, a lot of that money I forget what the percentage is, but it was something like eighty percent goes to the municipality or to the local community and twenty percent goes to the state.

In Kentucky it's the opposite. Only about twenty percent goes to the individual city and the majority goes down state. So there's really not that incentive for these local law enforcement agencies to be writing tickets. Now in northern Kentucky, there have always been these different areas where people know that there are various speed traps that the cops always just sit by and they just can't wait to write

tickets and so on. But those are few and far between because there's really no incentive for them on them from the mayor or for whomever to boost up the number of tickets written because they really don't profit by it. But in the city of Cincinnati and Ohio, yes, that's big money for them. And when you put that on a line item, that is something that you have to attain.

That is something that you've got to work for. You don't put something in the budget you know that should just be extra income and that should be part of the extra well, extra income or other income is something that you don't depend on as far as you're running of your city. But when that is a specific line item for traffic tickets, that tells you everything you need

to know. And this is you know, hope, hopefully this bill will gets some legs and they actually get it passed, because to have quotas just for the sake of writing tickets or whatever, I mean, when you go down the road, you can see any number of places where cops can just sit there and write ten, fifteen, twenty tickets in an hour based on the number of people. But is it a dangerous area, is it traffic whatever? There's whole kind of things. Maybe we'll talk about this a little

bit if anybody calls in about it. Uh five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty, five hundred one, eight hundred eighty two three Talk one, eight hundred eighty two three eight two, five five pound, five point fifty AT and T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five KR. See the talk station.

I don't know if anybody else had to, but they pulled over the nice cars and like I got, you know, a couple of junker trucks and they ain't the hell, they ain't got no money, they ain't gonna get to give me a ticket. Really, I notice, man's notice out there people. They pulled over the nice cars and these people, you know they got family in there.

or drugs or something like that. But I would think with the older car, well, I don't know, that's a that's a very good question. I have to We'll have to throw that out to the audience and kind of do an informal poll.

traffic at all. But going back home, I would always see on seventy one where they had the motorcycle patrol vehicle, and they'd always try to nail people in rush hour, which I thought was kind of weird. But I guess after nine o'clock you would expect rush hour to be over because during rush hour there shouldn't be much speeding because for crying out loud, you're lucky to get up to the speed limit sometimes, but going back home, I'd always notice cars pulled over on either side of either

northbound or southbound on seventy one. But I never really paid much attention to the cars. And that's interesting. I'm

going at the under that one. That's that's interesting because I do notice on Route twenty seven in northern Kentucky, which is you know, in Campbell County where I live, You'll see around, you know, around the freeway, you'll see, you know, people coming off the freeway continuing to speed because it goes it goes from sixty five miles an hour down to fifty five miles an hour, forty five miles an hour, and then thirty five miles an hour once you get to the end of four seventy one there,

and you'll see people pulled over. And then you'll see a stretch of highway on twenty seven where it kind of opens up. And if you don't pay attention because of the hills, that if you start going down that hill, you can very easily be doing fifty five miles an hour in a forty mile an hour zone before you even know it. And so a lot of times I'll

see people pulled over there. But it seems to me more that they're interested in checking younger people because there always seems to be like three or four cars and two or three people outside the call while they're searching the car or something along those lines. But it would be interesting. What's been your experience getting pulled over by

the police? Five one, three, seven four nine fifty five hundred one, eight hundred and eighty two three talk one eight hundred eighty two three eight two five five pound, five point fifty AT and T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five krs.

top of the hour. But anyway, that was an interesting phone call from Bill, and I've been racking my brain trying to think about just exactly what we I've experienced out on the highway, because we had this story at the bottom of the hour about a Senate bill or a bill in front of the Ohio Legislature banning the House Bill one one to ban police officers or law enforcement agencies to have a quota system.

with Bluetooth and some of the other stuff. But apparently after a recent upgrade at a start of appearing that if you put in the word if you were voicing the word racist for a second, Trump would come up and then would go away and correct it to racist or back to racist. And so it's interesting to see the way that that happened. And one of these former tech had originally been on the SERY team. This John Burkie, former member of the Sery team, said that it smells

like a serious prank. But then The New York Times jumped in and says that they said that, wow, I'm sorry. First of all, the Walls Journal talked about it and said that maybe it had something to do with the r consonant that temporarily replaced with Trump, including rampant or rampage, which would seem to me that words that you would

think would be derogatory towards Trump. New York Times cleverly omits the fact that in other words like rampage trigger the glitch, not just racist, which again they try to give some credence to the whole idea phone of phonetic overlap.

Phonetic overlap, my friends, is two words that sound alike, not two words that are just because they have an r in It just unbelievable that again the people and some of these tech companies are still out there doing stuff that what they think is a prank, but is somehow trying to instill in people's mind a thought that really doesn't need to be there, and buying into this whole new narrative from the left. When again, if you look at the left, if you look at the Democratic Party,

it's just go on down the line. The Democratic Party has always been the party of races, and it goes back to back during the Civil War. I mean, they were the Party of slavery, Party of Jim Crow, the Black Codes, all that, and so many of their members, Dixiecrats and beyond, were all part of the Democratic Party. So again them trying to throw some shade on Republicans as being racist, they want to turn the mirror around and look at themselves. So again, anyway, so coming up,

we're gonna talk about the penny. What are your thoughts on the penny? Should we get rid of it, should we continue it? What should we do with it?

little bit slick. I want to talk about one of the things that one of the few things I disagree with this administration, the Trump administration, and the whole doge boys and the bulldozers, the dozers that i'd like to refer to them. I agree with going in and doing cost cutting. I agree with going in and getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse, making things more efficient and everything along those lines. As a recovering accountant, and I've talked about this before, I am not what you consider

a typical accountant. I am not one of these bean counters. I don't look at something and say, okay, here is the cost and then here is the direct benefit. To see that if you've got a particular cost, that you're recouping that as well or a profit off of that. I look at things in terms of the whole picture. As an example, one of my clients years ago, they

had restaurant chain. They had five or six restaurants. They were losing money or at least break even with one of their restaurants, and they said, well, we're just going to close it down. I said, well, wait a minute, here have you thought how have you thought this through? Because number one, with six different restaurants, you're going to get a certain volume discount that you might lose as a result of not having this volume, which would then

add more costs to your other stores. You have a back office where you do the accounting, you do the financial, you do the bill paying all of that, and you have the overhead for the management, the people that go around and inspect the restaurants and all of that stuff. And so that cost currently is being spread out over

six different units. When you break that down to then five units, that increases the cost per store, and then all of a sudden you have one of those stores not performing well, and what do you do get rid of that to the point where you don't have any stores. The main thing is to go in and boost that store up, find out why the sales aren't there, find out why it isn't as profitable to the others, and

try to fix it. That's a little bit harder than just saying, oh, we're just going to cut that expense. And when they look at this the penny that they say that, oh, it costs three cents to do the penny and people go, well, yeah, pennies are nothing. I mean, I don't take anything about that, and no way, Yeah, let's get it rid of it.

I think that those and talking about doing this is when you look at it is penny wise and pound foolish. And of course I would like a penny for your thoughts if you want to call in and talk about this. Eric code five one three seven nine fifty five hundred one hundred A two three talk one eight hundred A two three eight two five five pound five point fifty

on that AT and T wireless phone. Now, when you look at the cost of producing a penny, there's there's all kinds of different studies about that and what that does to the economy. First, consumers benefit with low denomination a coin because it keeps prices in check.

moved the decimal one way or the other. But back in the early days of computers, when they do these different transactions and then have these things where there'd be fractions of pennies. Somebody went in and ch change the code there to the point where that percentage of a penny or half a percent or tenth of a penny would go into an accountant and then they would steal that money, and that wound up when they actually found out about it was millions of dollars that had cost

this particular company. About that and the programming of different businesses are that in their software currently. Obviously, a business wants to make the most money, so if their transactions are a certain dollar amount and pennies, those are generally rounded up. They're never rounded down. And this is funny that this came up because this past Friday, my wife and I went down to Louisville for the day because

America's Struck a network. There's a truck show down there in March, and we wanted to get a layer of the land because my wife is coming down with me and she wanted to make sure that she knew how to drive around the area, get downtown and so on. So we were doing a dry run so that you felt comfortable getting on and off the freeway because there, I mean, I'll tell you what, it's a little tricky down there. But anyway, I was standing, we were looking.

We went to the hotel, you know, made sure that we had the room reservation and everything, made sure we were going to be on the third floor, which is not a lot better. And we were just walking around the hallways and the guy that was doing the he was doing a vending machine at the time, and apparently they were reprogramming it, and he goes, well, he goes, he's on the phone, he's on the speakerphone, and he goes.

He goes, well, he says, I think this comes up to where it's going to be actually, you know, like twelve cents or something like that, So I'll just want round that down. And the guy on the other end goes, why would you do that? Just round it up to the next nickel. It's like, okay, this profitence centive is there, and so these numbers aren't going to be rounded down.

save money. In fact, the government costs will increase without the penny. First of all, a lot of is going to be hurting consumers, Penn State economist Ray Lombra said recently, and the Georgetown fellow Robert Shapiro showed that consumers would be hit with a multi billion dollar rounding tax without the penny, multi billion dollar tax. So you know your four cents here, three cents here, two cents here. Over

the course of the year adds up. And then you compound that by the number of people that are doing that, and it adds up tremendously, courting the Federal Reserve. According to Federal Reserve studies, people who use more cash frequently with higher let me see, people with relatively low incomes, particularly young, elderly, and minorities use cash more frequently and

individuals with higher incomes. Years ago, I owned some liquor stores in northern Kentucky, this back in the early nineties, and part of the business there was cashing checks and trying to figure out, you know, making sure that we could you know, cash the checks for the customers so that they would then.

you've got people that depend on cash. And then secondly, the fact that if you're rounding these up and you know, a couple of cents here and couple of cents there, that's going to affect minorities and if you uh, and the elderly and the very young because of something like sixty percent of transactions under ten dollars is done by

cash and not done by a credit card. And of course, when you start seeing some of these credit card fees being tacked on to the transactions that you're doing at the store, that then adds up to because if you look at those transactions, how many people look at those transactions and say, well, okay, if they're going to charge me, you know, three and a half percent on this purchase, then well maybe I'll just pay cash for it.

that in a second. You know, when they start talking about the penny, and they keep making the point that it costs three cents to make the penny, you're losing two cents on each transaction. Well, if you get rid of the penny, you're gonna be you're gonna be minting more nickels. And if you look at the cost of that round, the using the nickel will actually lead to

higher production costs. It costs thirteen point five cents to make the nickel, So you're gonna do away with the and then make more nichols and then lose eight cents instead of three cents on the coins. It just doesn't make any sense. Let's go to the phones. Let's talk to Kirk. Kirk fifty five k s. You're on the air. Thanks for calling. I certainly appreciate it.

mean the first week in the dormitory. I mean back then, I mean, for crying out, we didn't have the many refrigerators. You had the meal plan, you had the three meals a day, and anything that you could have like bags of chips and stuff. But you didn't have hot plates. You didn't have this that some of these dormitories have.

And it was it was a shock the first couple of weeks thinking, you know, being at home, you you know, eleven o'clock at night and oh, I'm gonna go to the fridge, I'm gonna have a sandwich or I'm gonna have this, and Oh wait a minute, that isn't there.

whole nine yards here. With the cost of thirteen point eight cents to make a nickel, that is certainly not going to help the economy or help the treasury that much because you're going to be spending more money. And then of course you got the situation. We'll talk about this in a little while, talking about how much charities depend on pennies, and that this cashless society, in my opinion, this is a travel down the slippery slope in terms of a cashless society. I think we've got time to

squeeze in a phone call here before the news. Let's talk to Mike, Mike fifty five. Care, see you're on the air. Thanks for calling.

on children's education. Newport's Superintendent, Tony Watts made a tentative allocation to the budget cuts are being made to the building. Let me see some of the comments. Who's this from one of the teachers associations. Cuts are being made at the building levels, but no one is willing to answer of what is being cut at this central office, which I think is something that needs to be talked about.

Some of the teachers you plan on cutting are teachers who are not only play a role in kids education and success, but also built foundation with the kids. I got to tell you from a personal nature, from a personal standpoint in my past, some of the most respected people that I knew were teachers and had an impact

on my life. Well, I had this discussion with somebody the other day about mentors, and I don't know that I had a particular mentor, but it was a number of people that I was exposed to over the years, and teachers are that foundation the good ones, and not every teacher is a good one. That's one thing you

need to talk about right off the bat. But when it comes to these budgets, I wish that and hopefully that there are some enterprising accountants out there that would like to do a little bit of pro bono work and maybe help out with the budget there to see where things could be cut, things that could be done.

And one of the things that I've been wanting to talk about forever and for some I'm going to have to do this, going to delve into it at some point, is that if you eat any cereal, and I eat a fair amount of cereal, I try to stay away from the sugary cereals, but you know, it's nice to have a bowl of cereal from time to time. And you have the things on the top, the box tops. I don't know how much of those are used. I don't know what the volume is. But you don't see

any of these things with public schools. You notice that during the summer there are always these church festivals and school festivals that actually are the school festivals that then support the schools and raise money for the schools. You don't see any of that in any of the public schools, with the exception of Woodfill School in Fort Thomas, and every year they have their big Top festival, which is money for the individual school.

of raising money on a regular basis. Just don't depend on the taxpayers all the time for the funding of these schools. Maybe that's a couple of things they need to look at. Also, one of the headlines we're looking at and Ohio bill would ban ticket arrests quotas for law enforcement. House Bill one thirty one would make such

quotas illegal, which it's about time coming up.

Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRC.

Talking about the penny, I mean, this is something that Dose has been talking about that it costs three cents to make the penny, but if you switch to making more nickels, it's gonna cost you eight cents more because it costs currently thirteen point eight cents to make a nickel. And then at some point they're going to say, well, maybe we should do away with a nickel. And then you start rounding everything up and from the penny, because

no nothing ever gets rounded down. And you know, the school of thought, as far as accountants was concerned, anything over you know, fifty cents or whatever, fifty cents and above would be rounded up. But a lot of times this stuff programmed into these computers and stuff, if it comes into a percentage of point sense, it is rounded up, and so I I don't like it from that standpoint. And then this push to a cash list society, now, a lot of this I think kind of gained a

lot more ground. I know what gained more ground. My wife never liked dealing with money. She always talked about how dirty it is and you don't know where it's been. And she's always telling me that if I'm handling money, make sure I wash my hands and all this sort of stuff. And yeah, I kind of get that with the COVID issue and whatever, but you know, I'm kind

of the of the school of thought that. And maybe it's because my immune system is pretty decent, but almost you know, being exposed a little bit of germs once in a while is good for you. But getting away from cash. You know, I can't tell you the number of times I've been in a store and it's I try to use CA. I used to use cash a lot more often. But you go to buy something and you look at it and you say, well, gee, I've the only I got a twenty and this thing's going to cost a dollar fifty?

And you look at the amount of credit card debt that we people have, it's incredible going back to the nineteen eighties, the seventies, and you know, when credit cards first started becoming more popular, the average debt the American consumer had at that point was five hundred dollars. Now people are maxed out on their credit cards. There's spending tons of money on the interest, and it's because of the money being easy to spend without having to pause

and think about it. And the fact that you go to a cash list society is.

thank you so much. And you know, getting back to this cash list society, I think it's like, as I said, a slippery slope when you go down that path and you can't you know, when you're when you're dealing again, when you're dealing with cash, you kind of understand the purchase that you're making, as opposed to just handing a card over and then whatever. I mean, there are people that I know that hardly ever look at a bill when it comes to just hand them the credit card.

I just I don't understand it. And something that why I think that it's so necessary to keep the currency and keep that available, because again, we have a out a twenty percent portion of the economy, twenty percent portion of the population that don't use banks, and that they rely solely on actual hard currency in order to make their purchases. And I think it's a bad idea. I don't think it's only going to add problems to the economy. I don't think we're going to see any benefit from it.

And again, when you look at the fact that you're going to be printed or you're going to be minting more nickels, and if the nickels are costing thirteen point eight cents in order for them to be made. And as I was digging into this too, I was looking at how the mint actually takes their overhead and applies it to these individual coins, and it seems from the numbers that I was looking at, and somebody pointed this out to me that if you look at the way

they divide their overhead for the entire treasury. Over the individual coins, pennies get a higher percentage of that than they actually should if you were doing straight accounting and spreading those out evenly the way they should be over the individual currency that is being done, and so that number of how much it costs to make the penny may actually be over inflated. So that's one of those things.

Rather than just going in and cutting something because it seems like it costs more, you got to look at what does it cost you in the long run if you cut that. Phone numbers five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty, five hundred one eight hundred day two three talk one eight hundred eight two three A two five five pound, five point fifty AT and T wireless phone. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRC.

See the talk station. Chuck Ingram has traffic from.

Liberty Fairfield at Milligan needing more medical help. Chuck Ingram on fifty five k R and SEV talk station.

Just got a very good take on the economy. But in the meantime, let's head to the phones and let's talk to Larry. Larry fifty five carries KRC. How are you this morning going?

have liked. But you know, you read some of this stuff about how many people are hoarding pennies and how many people have you know, just have these jugs that are sitting around the house that have pennies in them, And yeah, I liked the idea, and I I would like to see the idea floated that if you turn in a penny you get two pennies. That would you know, again, if it costs three cents to do a penny and you're paying two dollars or two pennies to get those

back in circulation, maybe you could stop. You wouldn't be having to print as many pennies. And so there's a lot of things that need to be done. I mean, it's just not a matter of looking at the cost and what it costs and what the value is, what it does overall in the economy, what it does as far as the charities are concerned, and what that does to lower income people. All that has to be taken into consideration, and you look at the whole picture as opposed.

But the idea of and like I said, I find that when you pay with cash, it doesn't hurt. I mean, when you pay with a credit card, it doesn't hurt as opposed to dipping in your pocket and having to count out the money.

that amount itself and charge them that. Hopefully, with the current administration and the tax bills that are going through that they'll end the tax on tips, which I think would be great. But in the meantime, because if you go through the receipts and if they say that okay, that they expected a five percent or ten percent tip, and then that's what they're taxed on. But if you can leave fifteen to twenty percent with cash, then they

make a lot more money that way. And again, spending cash is a lot easier than waiting till pay day and getting that on your on your on your paycheck. So anyway, that's my two cents worth. As far as the Penny and a cashlest Society coming up, Phil.

on the twentieth, which is good news. Hopefully that'll push through into the refineries and into the gas pumps, but you never know.

the peacemaker. You know. The possibility that he can get Ukraine and Russia in the same room and the war possibly lifts sanctions on Russian oil could have a huge impact on the globe, not just for those barrels of oil, you know, but the you know, the fact that you know, the chances of World War three gos goes down, reduces the risk to transport oil, and that lowers prices. So sometimes you can do it without even drilling.

that they could allow that to happen. But it was amazing that they did.

lives better. Now, let's let's invade another country, or let's cause terrorism on the state of Israel or the country of Israel. It's just the the the weakness of that previous administration is just criminal.

It can mean growth and manufacturing, you know. So there's so many elements and a lot of what we're seeing, you know, with the war in Ukraine, you know, and you know the situation with Iran and everybody else has an oil subplot running underneath all these conflicts.

energy prices. And if your energy prices are ten, fifteen to twenty percent higher than they were four years ago, that's going to be reflected in your bottom line and that's got to be passed on to your.

ones that were driving their prices. When there was a war in Ukraine, you know, a war that he should have stopped, he blamed the oil companies because prices went up because they're cutting off supplies from Russia and called them war profiteers. Yeah, I mean, you know, such a bad vision. But then they spend billions of dollars right

on green energy programs that went nowhere. And now we're finding out what the jos that a lot of this money went into the pockets of politicians and companies with the you know, political connections, you know, so you know, and that all cost every American. Everybody says, oh, there's always crime in Washington. Well, you know, that's been going

on for years. You know what, it's crime that's taking money out of your pocket, my pocket, and in the poor and middle classes pocket that you know, politicians always say we care about the poor and middle class. Now they're like to lease the poor in the middle classes what they've been doing.

I call it, the Green New Steel. But it's right, it's like, it's okay now to not be woke.

It's sad. I mean when you see that the mainstream media has been lying to you, they've been lying to you about climate change. They've been lying to you, you know, about where your money's going.

to say it's almost every day. I mean, it's just a wealth of information in there. You've talked about this week Donald Trump being a great negotiator and it's amazing what he's been able to accomplish. Power to the people. The other day talking about energies, are trying to prompt these these companies to you with the necessity of AI and the technology that that's going to require to build up their energy production by ten to fifteen percent. And it is just a wealth of information. And you call

them like you see them. You talk about the green energy, the green news, as I call it, the green news, steel about this climate change hope that the hoax that we've been fed over the.

artificial intelligence. And if you're going to have the strongest economy in the world, if you're going to keep jobs in this country, if you're going to have a strong national defense, then the only way that you can take care of that is by expanding your capacity to produce energy and meet the demands that is coming. So that is definitely one of the things that Trump gets and we're going to have to expand our capacity.

thirty five servers in there. And you walk in that room and it was almost like a sauna. And if for some reason the air conditioner got blocked in there, all hell would break loose and that stuff would melt down, or you know, they damage the equipment. So not only do you have the energy to run the equipment, but you also have an awful lot of energy needed to cool the equipment.

You know, And this is just the beginning. It reminds me, Kevin of the beginning of the internet. Remember when you know, I'm old enough to remember, nobody had computers on our desk. Oh yeah, flag rolls and paper right right, you know now I mean, uh, well little calculators if you could afford them, a big one, big one. But anyway, but yeah, but this is what's happening right now with the artificial intelligence,

and Trump gets us. You know, you look at it and say, how are you going to pay off this ridiculous DAFA said, oh, yeah, we're cunning government spending. But is that going to be enough? You know? But how did we do it in the past? It was with tax cuts, economic growth and the Internet revolution, right, and so now we're going to have another iteration of this. And Donald Trump looks at the big picture and he gets it. And you know, we can either lead in

this area or we can be left behind. And the sad part is if we get left behind, that means our children and our grandchildren are going to be left behind. Right. Good, everybody and everybody cares about the environment, right, and we want a safe environment. That's great, right, But you know the fear mongeringe over climate change. I mean, I can give you an example after example of all these fear

mongering politicians. So give us money, or you know, the world's gonna end in six years and it's going to be irreversible. Uh, you know a lot of that stuff. I can go back thirty years and show that these predictions have been totally wrong. Listen to me.

So when I hear a Democratic politicians and ah, he's just going to be added to inflation, and then I would say to them, well, you want to tax the millionaires and billionaires more money, So what you're saying, is the taxes, and so you're going to be adding to inflation, you know, so they talk out of both sides of their mouth. The only cause of inflation, and everybody can write this down is government mismanagement of the economy by

printing too much money. And President Biden printed more money than any president you know, I think in history, and that is why we have inflation.

of money that went to waste, fraud, and abuse. Uh, those are the things that that caused inflation. And the people that said it was going to cause inflation were absolutely correct.

are better? Do you see? You know, everybody buying electric cars. You see that they're cheap. No, I mean, you know, they gave tax breaks to millionaires so they could buy electric cars while the poor middle class got hit with higher gasoline prices, higher heating bills. Right, and they all say, well, it's good to save the planet. You know, they don't care about the planet.

of wealth from one organization to another. And then they can go belly up and they can take all the money that they siphoned off and go play on the beach in the Caribbean.

Children Services. And I got told about this by one of Ran Paul's field guys talking about this event that's going to be happening out at Main Street Church Saturday, March the twenty second, and the purpose of this called fighting for freedom the community addressing human trafficking. And talking to you yesterday, Kevin, when you talked told about some of the things going on in our community and in this area, scared the actual actually gave me the piece shivers,

as I should say. But welcome to the program anyway.

office for setting us up, because this is huge. I am indeed senior Regional Advancement director for Sunrise Children's Services. We are across the Commonwealth, and I'm a bivocational pastor of Flag Springs Baptist Church in southern Campbell County. I've been dealing with this in our agency because we're getting more and more kids at our agency who have been trafficked, and I didn't realize the numbers until a friend of mine called me about setting this up. Where I work,

it's a multifunctional agency. We contract with the Department of Community Based Services and Child Protective Services when kids are removed from the home or one of the larger agencies that take care of that. But you know, we provide residential psychiatric adolescent addiction, multifaceted levels of sexual abuse therapy, foster care, foster to adopt needing foster parents. You know, more and more all the time. So we've been in

this fight, Kevin for many years anyway. But while I've been concerned about human trafficking from a Christian standpoint especially, and I've been reminding our congregation frequently about it here at Flags, rings about it being both a domestic and international problem. Especially you know, you know about it too, the children who were unaccompanied, especially the last four years

at our southern border. You know, numbers ranging anywhere from thirty thousand to some estimates being a lot more than that. You've heard about that in the new Yeah, yeah. And it wasn't until I started getting data from our own agency about the kids who are coming in, especially to our residential who've been directly affected by this, that I really started to take a look and why it's become

such an epidemic. Move it ahead. My friend and colleague, Linda Bates from wealth Care health Care is a friend of mine and an associate, and she's been trying to help solve at least try to begin to solve some of these problems through the passion she has for this. And she called me about trying to help her set this event up. And if you don't mind, I have Linda with me this morning because she can explain her

pasth for this a lot better than I can. If you don't mind, Kevin, I'd like to have problem Linda to the audience.

human trafficking. They were being one for Christ. And I walked out of there with really a burden on my heart to do something more in northern Kentucky where I live. And so, through a lots of twists and turns of that day three years ago, here we are now today with this event coming up on March twenty seconds, and we have some committed community partners, whether that be for profits, non for profits, retirees, teachers, church members, it's yes.

get help, you know, without approaching them. Tiffany Brereton with she was made for More, Angie Young with a of course, let it be done, exposing sex trafficking, Ion Center, Bikers Against Child Abuse, Safe Passage, Barn and Grace Ministries. I mean, I could go on and on and on.

for eight different breakouts. So, uh, there's gonna be just a lot of information that's gonna be available there. And so once again just to remind everyone, this is going to be Saturday. Get there early. I would recommend getting there about seven forty five, eight o'clock for the light breakfast, and then map out what you want to do for the day. But March twenty second, Main Street Baptist Church, Alexandria, Kentucky, and it'll be a ten dollars registration. You know, we're

just trying to get skin in the game. We're not trying to charge too much for this. But the sponsors are Flag Springs Baptist Church, Sunrise Children's Services, brass Key Coffee, Main Street Baptist, obviously Plum Creek Church, and obviously Wellcare of Kentucky. That lend to works's going to.

guest is Kevin Richardson and Linda Bates. Kevin Richardson is pastor, Senior director of Regional Advancement Sunrise Children's Services, and Linda Bates, Senior Community Relations coordinator at Waldcare. I'm gonna pick this up on the other side of the break. I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRS the talk station.

Lochlan split. Crews continue to work with an accident on seven forty seven at one twenty nine and ken Woods blocked off near Whatzell from an early morning accident with low power lines.

human trafficking. Thanks for being with us. I certainly appreciate you hanging with us through the break.

the trafficking that these kids have gone through. You know, there's just a lot of you know, angst and hatred that these kids have that who can blame them if you're traded among so many different adults for sexual favors and then you know, we wind up getting them just the cost. You know, from our standpoint, it has gone through the roof. So that's just part of it. But Linda's got some hard numbers here, Okay.

like that. I mean, I'm just looking forward to some type of new report and update as to exactly what happened and what happened to these children. But by saying that, I don't want to under talk about the domestic problem because you have people who are addicted to drugs, you may sell their children. You have people who get in financial straits. I mean, to me, as a pastor, it's

a morality problem. Obviously, I believe people need christ and I'm unapologetic about this, and this is a Christian event. We're unapologetic about that too, even though we're going to have secular agencies there. But Kevin across the board is bad both domestically and internationally, and it's it's getting worse now. I'm hoping that with the closure of the border and things like that that it will help. But obviously all of this stuff needs to be addressed both domestically and internationally.

As to what's already gone on, I'm hoping that data will be completely updated as to what you know happen to those kids and the bottom line, agencies like ours and agencies we've already talked about are suffering mightily because of the amount of mental abuse and sexual abuse that they had.

to answer ask the question. As many of you know, I was involved in the group that was back in twenty thirteen that when they started proposing public private partnership and they we're going to build a companion bridge down there on next to the Brents Benz Bridge, that it was going to be a public private partnership that would lead to tolling.

The funding has been there since twenty twenty two when they got the grant for this funding that would then lead to the construction of the bridge down there with no tolling, and yet today still there has never not been a groundbreaking ceremony.

endangered species and stuff down there, just unbelievable. I mean, you know, we were told that this was crisis situation had to be built right here right now, and here we are twelve years later, and you know, glad that the group that I was part of, have saved this area, especially northern Kentucky over a billion dollars folks, that's with a B in terms of money coming out of their pockets that would have been funding tolls over that period of time. So I'm very proud to have saved the

area that much money. But it just amazes me that this is not talked about. There was some news last night that the Epstein flight logs are going to be released here soon, the guest list, if you will.

that quickly. I see that the Secret Service agent that one of the guys that was shielding Trump that day has been promoted to head of the Secret Service, which is good. I would like to see as far as the individual investmentations, when are we going to see the release? And I guess we're getting close to it, to see

what actually happened. As far as RFK Junior, John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations, I think it's about time that the American public know what the hell happened there and again in the in the vacuum of not getting information, of not being this put to rest, you've got all these conspiracy theories, and quite honestly, at this point in time, the fact that this is dragged on so well so long, I don't know that the actual documents coming out of the FBI or whatever agencies is

going to quell those rumors and quell those conspiracy theories, because it's just.

to lay this at the feet of the Democrats. Look what the Democratic Party has done to turn us against the institutions that we were supposed to rely on. You know, the liberals back in the day, they wanted to tear down the Catholic Church, they wanted to tear down religion. They wanted to get morality out of the talking about and out of schools and out of every place else. And we've seen what that done as far as the moral decline. But then you start having the fact of

people were always supportive of the military. They tried to destroy that. And with Johnson dragging on the war in Vietnam, how the military got a bad name with some of the stuff that they were doing there. And we've seen how the Democrats over the years have tried to demilitarize

or try to ruin the military. And now that we're seeing, you know, every time the Republicans come in, they start building back up the morale and the military, and look at what happened as a result of the weaponization of

the FBI, the Justice Apartment, the NIS, the CDC. Of course, I've not been a big fan or trusting much as far as the CDC is concerned, ever since I started learning about the Tuskegee syphilis experiment that was started back during Franklin Roosevelt's presidency in the forties, where they actually allowed black men down in the South in Tuskegee, Alabama, to get syphilis and then not treat it, telling them that they were giving them the medicine for this, but

the experiment was to watch how this destroyed their bodies and how this would ravage that And this went on for forty almost well thirty plus years and was ended during the Nixon administration. So when you have the CDC at that point, where the forerunner of the CDC I think was National something Health Department or whatever that when this was found out, wound up forming the CDC and

nobody went to jail. As a result of the torture and the killing of these people down there, I started thinking, well, what other things are they hiding? And then, of course, once we got the pandemic that came about, and all of a sudden, we started seeing how we were being censored, We were being kicked off of social media if you

dare say anything different than what the agenda was. We had Fauci talking about that, oh, this could not have possibly been coming from the Wuhan lab, even though the virus came out of the Wuhn wet market in no connection there.

and the amount of lies that we were told about this virus and the fact that now we don't well, there's a lot of us me included that I always

I kind of take with a grain of salt. I've always been kind of suspicious of medical community, either from knowing that you know, you have a difference between sports medicine versus other type of medicine, going from one doctor to another getting a second opinion, and you talk to some doctors at pushpills some that don't, and you have a healthy skepticism of what's going on, because if you're in tune with your body and try to pay attention to your own body, you kind of know what the

ailment is. But you depend on the medical community in times of need, and how many times the joke about practicing medicine and so all these institutions that have been ruined because of the lies perpetrated, the lies coming out the lawfair that was going against Trump for the four years, well for the four years he was in office and the four years after being in office. And we have all of these conspiracy theories that are out there that

many of them have been proven true. This whole deal with climate change that we were talking with Phil Flynn over the fact that we've been lied to about that and all of the stuff that we've be being told. It's almost like, what do you believe now?

from Frankfort to be interesting there. I hate to admit this, but I have not been as engaged in the legislative session this year as I normally have been in the past because of other things that I've been doing and I'm working on the America's Truck and Network show. I mean, there has just been a lot of news in terms of everything affecting transportation, industry, energy and everything going on.

To try to keep track of what's going on, and of course you got to get your daily update of what's going on as far as Doze and as far as what's going on in the administration. And I gotta tell you it's been extremely entertaining to watch the Hair on Fire, the hysterics coming from the left.

screaming and yelling. And when you see what has been done, when I go back and I look at how far and what institutions that Donald Trump has taken on and destroyed, You've got the spoon fed regurgitators in the mainstream media. You have every one of them back on their heels. You have a joy Read been fired less or Holt that's stepping down. You have a whole host of people that have been reduced. MSNBC, CNN. MSNBC is on this seller's block. Even NBC doesn't want to be part of them.

CNN is teetering on Washington Post. They're changing their editorial tune to be more fair and balanced and to produce more conservative opinions there, and the liberals there are going

on now. Mind you. These are journalists. These are people that are we've been told over the years, are going to give us the who, what, when, we're how and why reporting, But instead it's been opinion opinion, opinion opinion and trying to gaslight us in terms of what we have seen with our own eyes, that somehow we're not

seeing what we're seeing. And the fact that this has been destroyed the FBI that investigated Trump, the fact that they had these spies within his organization or spying on his campaign, that we were told was just a conspiracy theory.

Now we've got Jake Tapper, of all people, Jake Tapper, who they were showing last night an interview that he had with Lara Trump and where she was talking about Joe Biden's decline and dementia, and he started almost, you know, talking over here, and he was just short of screaming at her that you know, you are making assumptions, you're not a doctor, you don't know what you're talking about. And what you're doing is you're making fun of his

speech impediment. His stuttering isn't an amazing This guy was in his eighties and he'd been in Washington for fifty plus years, and the first time we heard that he had a quote stuttering situation or issue was what it was obvious to everybody, the mental decline that he was going under because of somewhat dementia, Alzheimer's, whatever. And now Jake Tapper is writing a book about the decline and the misreporting by the media about his cognitive decline and

how they hit it. So he was wrong about denying it and covering it up, and now he's going to tell the truth about it. So he's making money on the lie. And now he's going to be making money on the truth. Isn't that just lovely? And Monica Lewinsky, now all of a sudden she's in the news and she's talking about Bill Clinton possibly should have resigned for

what he did. All up to this point, it's all been, well, you know, I still love him, and you know, I think he was a good president, and I don't have any ill will.

an intern. And I remember at the time that her being twenty two years old, Oh, she was an adult.

put that in the victory column. But you know, again, there's there's a whole lot more room with regard to tax reform, and it needs to be revenue negative and actually cut spending. That's the direction that we need to take in Frankfort, not just moving these taxes around to various other areas of the tax code.

in Louisville. What is that? That's just one example of its kind of wasteful spending that we could be cutting.

And with the real ID bill, we're hoping to move the issuance of the standard driver's license back to the circuit clerks to stop these long wait times and the ridiculous hoops that people have had to jump through as a result of the failed implementation.

Animatics Kentucky State Representative District sixty one. Give us an update down in the Frankfurt Legislative session. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty five K see the talk station.

The bias of the slow goat Dixie to Kyles Chuck Ambramont fifty five K see the talk station.

to fix this uh huh, once and for all. I want to do that by removing or by renewing the standard issued driver's licenses at the circuit clerk's office versus these regional centers.

but not everybody needs a real ID. If you want to board an airplane or visit a military base or other restricted federal building, you've got to have real ID. But you can also use your passport or a passport card for those purposes. Some folks just want to get a driver's license, they should be able to do that in their home county without having to jump through all the hoops. And you know, I'm truly hopeful that we'll be able to get this done this well.

You know, we've got instances that folks having an appointment and then showing up in the offices just can't.

For crying out loud, it's just okay anyway, So what else is going on? What should we be aware of and talking to our representatives to get them pushed into a certain area on certain votes and certain bills that we should be paying attention to.

And in Kentucky, whenever you seek an EPO, you lose your ability to carry a firearm, or the person you're seeking the EPO against loses their ability to carry a firearm, and the definition would change to include language that is very scary, like, for example, if you use technology to humiliate or exert undue influence over someone that could be sufficient to have an EPO against you and lose your firearms. That is scary. So I'm doing everything I can to

stop House Bill ninety six. It's a backdoor red flag or really an outright red flag, depends on how you look at it.

So we'll continue our conversation with Savannah Mannicks. Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas fifty five care see the talk station?

co sponsor with me. This bill would lower the constantitutional carry age from twenty one to eighteen, which is something that a multitude of other states have done something that we need to do, because if you can go overseas and fight for your country, you certainly should have your constitutional rights here at home. But it needs to move, it needs to move quickly. It has the potential to come up for a committee hearing on Wednesday of next week,

but we are running out of time. So I would to ask that folks take a look at House Bill one thirty nine and ask their legislators to support it.

of these things just don't don't fit. And then yet well this is another subject for another day, but where somebody at age seven years old is smart enough and mature enough to transition, but we won't get into that right now, but.

bright spot down there. In Frankfurt for the conservative cause, and I certainly appreciate your efforts down there, and so travel safe and be safe.

we're kind of running up against the clock here. It's been a blast. I appreciate being in here. Thank Joe for all of his efforts and all the bumper music and getting all the guests that we had scheduled and everything and get them on and with a flawless campaign here. I had a lot of stuff that we talked about today, and I certainly appreciate the opportunity to spend time with you this morning. And hey, we'll do this again sometime.

I'm Kevin Gordon in for Brian Thomas, fifty five KRC the talk station from.
